Killing G0pherS,

Prof. Budd, of Ames, Iowa. gives the
following as his method of destroying
gophers at the college farm: I'VE cut
middling sized potatoes into halves and
rub the cut surfaces with strychnine crys-
tails, These pieces are stuck fimly on the
sharpened ends Of stiff twigs about IS
inches in length. As the burrows of the
gopher are opened piece of potato is
run in the length of the stick, the outer
end beng fastened by sticking it into the
earth at the mouth of the hole. The
gopher finds the obstruction not easy to
remove, he gets chance to taste the
poisonous potato and pronounces it
good. It put loosely into their runs they
throw it out in nine cases out of ten un-
tasted. We have had no trouble in clear
ing land of these mischievous root eaters
in about one week.

Chatfeld Democrat: A case has just
been decided in the supreme court that
is of considerable general interest. In
1876 one L. s. Mitchell deposited sum
of money in the Mower County Bank,
then owned by Easton and Wilkins, and
was given certificate of deposit. This
was allowed to run until after the failure
of Wilkins, when the certificate of de-
posit was presented and payment refused.
Suit was breugh: by Mitchell IN the dis
trict court, which was decided in his
favor. The case was taken to the sup
rene court by Easton's attorney, n.
Kingsley, and the decision of the lower
court has just been reversed. Plaintiff s
counsel argued that a certificate of
deposit IN the ordinary form is in sub
stance and legal OBJECT promissory note,
is due at once and no actual demand is
necessary to set the statute of limitations
running, and, such being the case, the
certificate was barred, more than SIX
years having elapsed since payment was
made on it. We believe Mr.. Kingsley
has never lost a case in the supreme
court certainly out of about dozen
cases, where we have printed his briefs,
he has not lost single one. There are
few attorneys, probably none IN the state
that can show such record.

A SLUGGING MATCH.

The game of base ball last Friday af-
ternoon, between Austin and Lyle at Lyle
was too slow and too much one sided to
be interesting. The Austin boys really
won the game in the first inning, when
they piled up 16 TUES. Austin played a
rather loose game in the field, as is shown
by the scores they allowed Lyle to get,
but they made up for it at the bat, hand
ling the willow in fine shape. Allen did
some very effectual work in the box,
striking out men out of Is. He retired
in the 9Th inning, having turned his
ankle by. stepping into a hole. Lyle
has the making of good club, but they
need practice, and curve pitcher, as
straight throwing is all out of date. The
home team treated the visitors shame.
fully, allowing the visitors to pay thei,
own hotel bill, thing never before heard
of. The score stood 4S to 16 in favor OF
Austin.
